About Melvyn

I created my company MDES to work as an independent structural engineer. During my previous professional experiences, I have worked on building structures, civil engineering structures, and maritime and river structures.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to use my services for structural calculation missions, to subcontract part of your activities, or if you wish to temporarily strengthen your teams.
